Ranchers,

With a strong El Nino in effect, California should receive ample rains this winter. Now is the time to make sure that your cowherd is bred to the best bulls possible. Cowherd expansion has started throughout the country. We have a couple years of strong calf prices left. Now is the time to build high quality genetics into your herd. Then you will be prepared for the next downturn.

Leachman TopLine genetics excel on the three most important traits:

• Calving Ease – 86 heifers bulls sell• Efficiency – the average sale bull ranks

in the top 25% of the industry for low feed intake and superior conversion

• Profitability – our #Profit uniquely measures birth to harvest profit and Leachman TopLine bulls are far above average.

Here are the comparisons:• Average California cowherd: $4000

$Profit• Average Angus Bull: $9,000 $Profit.• Average TopLine Sale Bull: $11,008

$Profit.

These Leachman TopLine bulls will make you $20 more per calf they produce. They are more than average!

A New Way to Market

One of the biggest problems with the ranching industry is that you can’t easily look at calves and determine their profitability in the feedlot and on the rail. Feedlots report that the best groups of calves are worth up to $200 more per head than calves from average herds. Yet the market cannot identify the best calves. Now there is a solution to ensure that good calves bring more.

Now, using Leachman’s $Profit technology, a company called Verified Beef is certifying the genetic merit of calves at sale time. The program is called the Reputation Feeder Cattle program. This value is based on the bulls you have used over the last 10 years. The certificate shows the strengths and weaknesses of the calves and predicts their value relative to the average market.

Jim Warren will work hard to market your calves. This system will help ensure that you are paid for the quality of your genetics.

We look forward to seeing you at 101 on October 24th!

Sincerely,Lee Leachman & Mike Browning

$Profit – works on the ranch!

“We were not satisfied with our long term trends on fertility and pounds weaned per cow exposed. In 2008, we decided to buy bulls from Leachman Cattle of Colorado. Since that time, we’ve purchased over 250 bulls and we now run 100% Leachman bulls.

We use Leachman’s $Ranch index because we want to build the most profitable cowherd possible. The bulls have held up well and all of our trends are in the right direction. We see our relationship with Lee and the company as ‘a partnership.’ They are helping us make selections, improve our cowherd, and market the steers. It’s working!”

~ Richard Roth, Manager IX Ranch, Big Sandy, MT

“This is up from over 25% Prime in 2011. We’re very happy with the quality grade in our steers and with the premiums we can earn.

We’re also trying to improve our feed efficiency. Our 2009 born steers were fed at Decatur County Feed Yard and converted 6.1 to 1. Our 2013 born steers improved to 4.8 to 1 fed at the same feed yard. As we improve efficiency, we believe that our cows are getting better too. Quality grade and efficiency are our main goals.”

$PROFIT TM

What traits are included in $Profit:$Profit includes nearly every trait that impacts profit-ability. The effect of most traits on profit is fairly simple to understand. Here is the list of what is included and its effect:Revenue Traits

▪ Calving ease = more calves ▪ Weaning & yearling EPD = more weight ▪ Fertility (days to conception) = more weight and

more calves ▪ Carcass weight = worth more up to 1050 lbs. ▪ Marbling = valued based on grid premiums ▪ Ribeye area = value as impacts yield grade ▪ % Retail Product = more yield is more meat

Cost Traits ▪ Cow mature size = bigger eats more ▪ Cow intake = more intake costs more ▪ Feedlot feed efficiency = cost of gain

Some traits are not so easily characterized for $Profit. Milk, for example, is a good thing until you get too much. When over +25, milk EPD has a more negative effect on fertility than it has a positive effect on weaning weight. There are a few traits not yet included in $Profit: longevity, structure, and disposition. These traits are important but difficult to express in dollars.

Why $Profit helps:Today, ranchers have too much data to study. With over 20 EPD traits and so many measurements, buying the best bull has become really confusing. Every bull is good on some traits and weak on others. The challenge is figuring out how each of those traits is going to impact your bottom line. We wish we knew which bull would make the most money from birth to slaughter, but most of the time, we end up guessing.

Back in 2005, we decided that we didn’t want to guess any more. Dallas Horton asked Lee Leachman to come up with one number that sorted the bulls on their bottom line impact – so we did. Since then, we have provided $Profit on all bulls we sell. Furthermore, we are basing almost all of our own selection decisions on $Profit. Literally, we are putting our money where our mouth is.

Let me tell you a story about two bulls that we bought a few years ago from the same sale. Both bulls had complete performance data, ratios, ultrasound, and even feed efficiency data. They were both the same breed. After the sale, we added their herd’s data into our database to calculate EPD’s and $Profit. One bull came out at $8,374 and the other came out at $14,258. That is a huge difference – one bull was a great buy and the other was an expensive mistake.

How $Profit works:$Profit assumes that the average commercial bull will have 100 progeny over its lifetime. The model assumes that you keep 30% of your heifers as replacements and that you retain ownership on the remainder of the calves through finishing and sale on a grid. We realize that many don’t retain ownership, but doesn’t it make the most sense to select from birth all the way to slaughter? Feedlots have already proven their willingness to pay premiums for superior Leachman sired calves.

Our simulation model then factors in all of the effects on both income and expense to come up with a net profit figure for each bull. $Profit allows you to compare any two bulls and calculate the difference in profit that they are expected to generate in your herd. Let’s compare a $10,000 $Profit bull to $6,000 $Profit bull (the average 2008 born Angus bull). The predicted difference between

the bulls is $4,000 or about $40 per calf. $Profit works for us and it will work for you too.

On the Ranch, In the Feedlot, & On the Rail,

$Profit™ simply works!

Feed Efficiency Explained:Feed:Gain: Difference in the amount of feed a bull's progeny will consume to produce one pound of gain.

Example: A -0.50 F:G EPD means this ani-mal's progeny will consume 1/2 pound less feed per pound of gain than would progeny of a 0.00 F:G EPD sire.

Feed Intake: Difference in feed con-sumption of each of a bull's progeny in a 112 day feeding period.

Example: A steer whose sire has a -100 In-take EPD will eat 100 pounds less feed in 112 days than one whose sire had a zero Intake EPD.

Leachman indexes will make sure you are on track for higher profits!

At Leachman Cattle, we have collected feed intake records on over 13,000 animals. These records allow us to estimate feed intake and feed conversion EPDs. These values are then incorporated into our overall selection indexes.

Proficient ranks in the top 20% for 20 of the 25 traits that American Angus report EPDs

on. Including top 15% CED, 5% WW, 3% YW, 10% Marb, 10% RE, and 2% $B.

He also ranks in the top 0.2% for $Profit in the Leachman database.

Now, more than ever, Angus breeders are seeking direction. Some continue to pursue $Beef. Others are chasing maximum growth. Still others are breeding a certain type and kind. While none of these directions are bad, they are not the best. A better selection direction is to make Angus cattle more profitable from birth to slaughter. Our relentless pursuit of superior profitability led us to the early identification of several breed impacting sires.

Why Angus?

My bottom line isto run cows efficiently…

I want to run as many cows as I can on the country I have while main-

taining production, health, and land conservation. I like uniform, mod-

erate cows that work in my country – we’re getting away from cows that

are too big.Mike Browning & Greg Harlan

Leachman King Rob 8621 The original curve bender remains one of the strongest

maternal sires in history and a source for feed efficiency.

We were raised with Red Angus cattle.

Our family involvement in Red Angus started forty-one years ago at Leachman Cattle Company in Billings. We were blessed to have owned and/or bred many of the breeds highest impact sires and countless national champions.

The Stabilizer BreedThe Stabilizer

breed is a multi-breed composite developed by Leachman Cattle Com-pany. The breed is based on research done by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) at their Animal Research Service (ARS) at the MARC, Clay Center, Nebraska. The Stabi-lizer breed is a blend of British and Continental inputs. The original formation was 25% of four breeds each – Red Angus, Hereford, Simmental, and Gelbvieh. The Stabi-lizer combines the fleshing ability, marbling, and moderate size of the British breeds with the muscle, milk, and growth of the Continental breeds. As a four breed composite, the Stabilizer retains 75% of the F1 hybrid vigor and thus allows producers to crossbreed with simplicity.

The MARC (Meat Animal Research Center) started a project in 1973 called the Germ Plasm Utilization (GPU) project. The research project was led by Dr. Larry Cundiff and Dr. Kieth Gregory – two scien-tists widely regarded as world-wide leaders in crossbreeding research. The goal of the GPU project was to study the im-pact of hybrid vigor or heterosis on all production traits. As part of this project, the government station developed three different multi-breed composites populations to see how hy-brid vigor was retained in multiple generations of composite x composite crossbreeding. The composites where named Marc I (¾ Continental, ¼ British), Marc II (½ Continental,

½ British), and the Marc III (¼ Continental, ¾ British).

The research at the MARC showed several advantages that come from cross-breeding. Most importantly they showed

that hybrid vigor has a large impact on beef cattle production. The research demonstrat-ed an 8% improvement in weaning weight when a purebred cow is mated to a bull of a different breed. The research also showed

that cross-bred cows are far more productive than purebred cows. The benefits came in multiple areas includ-ing more milk production, better body condition,

faster re-breeding, and a longer productive lifetime. In total, the crossbred cows weaned 23% more weight than did pure-bred cows.

Historically, crossbreeding requires the use of complicat-ed mating systems to keep the hybrid vigor effect. Scientists designed rotational systems using three breeds. However, such systems were too complicated. Furthermore, they resulted in wide swings in breed composition, and prevented breeders from having a uniform, well adapted herd. As an alternative, the researchers at MARC developed multi-breed composites. Their study confirmed that such composite breeds retain hybrid vigor in proportion to the number of breeds used – using more breeds generates more retention of hybrid vigor. The Marc II composite, with four breeds, retains 75% of the

F1 hybrid vigor. Thus, breeders can breed composite bulls to composite females and keep most of the available hybrid vigor.

As scientists developed the composites at Clay Center, Dr. Gregory was asked to help a private commercial cattlemen, named Pat Vinton, build a composite program in central Nebraska. Based on research work, Dr. Gregory recom-mended that Mr. Vinton develop a composite patterned after the Marc II. Thus, Pat started with two different herds of females where he crossed Red Angus with Sim-mental and Gelbvieh with Hereford. He then used the resulting F1 bulls over the females in reciprocal matings to build the mix of 25% from each breed. In 1988, Lee Leachman visited the Vinton herd in Nebraska to inspect the cattle. Lee was so impressed with the herd that he

convinced Mr. Vinton to send bulls to Leachman Cattle Com-pany for sale in their World’s Largest Bull Sale in Billings, MT. Unfortunately, Mr. Vinton passed away unexpect-

edly less than two years later. This led to the eventual sale of the Vinton herd to Mr. Bob Tessari and family. The Tessari’s moved the herd to Baab, Montana. When the Tessari family dispersed in 2011, the best breeding females were obsorbed throughout the LCoC Cooperator base.

Since 1988, Leach-man’s have made many changes in the founda-tion Stabilizer population to increase their profitability. The original herd was mostly red with white faces and had a large percentage of horned cattle. The cattle lacked sufficient pigmentation on their udder and face region. Using solid red and black, polled Simmental x Angus and Gelbvieh x Angus hybrids from the Leachman herd, the breed color was made more solid with an increase in pigmentation and the polled gene coming as well. In terms of trait selection, the breed was initially selected for improved post weaning gain. Then pressure was put on carcass merit to increase ribeye area and marbling. Finally, downward pressure was placed on birth weight. The resulting population resem-bles Angus in many ways, while still retaining hybrid vigor.

Despite the merit of the Stabilizer’s original breed mix, at Leachman’s decided to open the mix of the composite to allow for the use of the best possible bloodlines. In the late 90’s, this meant the absorption of the Leachman Rangemaker line that

included Angus, South Devon, Tarentaise, and Salers into the Stabilizer herd. In more recent years, top crossing using purebred Angus, Gelbvieh, and Simmental herd sires has been used to rapidly incorporate the most advanced purebred lines.

Currently, Leachman is working to incorporate South Devon lines to take the place of the original Hereford breed inputs. Today, the Leachman Stabilizer population ranges from 3/8 British – 5/8 Continental to ¾ British – ¼ Continental. The three primary breed inputs continue to be Angus, Simmental, and Gelbvieh.

Since 1988, Leachman has marketed over 12,000 Stabilizer bulls. Customers from across the United States are successfully utilizing Stabilizers to improve their bottom line. The Stabilizer breed is also popular and growing in the UK, Australia, and in New Zealand. Most Stabilizer customers utilize the breed to sim-plify their crossbreeding program. The breed is used to produce crossbred females that thrive under most temperate conditions found in the United States. A number of the largest Stabiliz-er customers are utilizing the breed to produce ideal feeder and carcass cattle. The Stabilizer’s combination of muscle and marbling is unique in the industry as they marble far better than any Continental breed and have muscling and yield that is superior to Angus. The current

selection pressure on the Stabilizer herd emphasizes selection for feed efficiency through the use of Leachman’s feed efficiency EPD. In Leachman’s 2015 Spring Bull sale, 353 Stabilizer bulls averaged over $7,040 – all sell-ing to commercial ranchers.

Stabilizers yearling heifers are easy to raise and breed.

Stabilizer bulls keep their condition and breed more cows because of their hybrid vigor.

Stabilizer calves have more muscle shape than do straight Angus calves.

Stabilizers are selected for udder quality.

How to read this catalog1. Reg#: the registration number of the animal. NotReg

means the animal is not registered. Pending means that a registration number has been applied for, but was not issued at the time of catalog printing.

2. Brd: breed of the animal if two breeds or less are involved. If more than two breeds are in the animal, then the composition shows the percent British and the percent Continental, i.e. 58B 42C means 58% Brit-ish and 42% Continental.

3. DOB: date of birth

4. Color: BLK = black, BWF = black white face, BBF = black brockle face, RED = red, RWF = red white face, WHT = white.

5. Mating type: E = embryo transplant, A = via artificial insemination, N = natural service

6. Sex: B = Bull, H = Female

7. P = polled. S = scurred. H = horned.

8. Cooperator herd where the bull was raised.

9. Pen where the bull is located.

10. Genetic Defect codes - a C appended to the end denotes carrier and an F denotes tested free and P denotes possible but untested. NH - Neuropathic Hydrocephalus AM - Arthrogryposis Multiplex CA - Contractural Arachnodactyly OS - Osteopetrosis DD -Developmental Duplication

Phenotype Scores to Make Bull Buying Easier:

11. C. Ease: Calving Ease is the predicted calving ease if you use the bull on heifers. If there is a number in the brown box, this indicates the breed calculated calving ease direct EPD. In addition, we provide our Leach-man estimated calving star system.

***** The easiest calving bulls in the industry. **** Use on smaller heifers with minimal assistance needed *** Use on larger heifers with some assistance expected.

12. Growth: This is a score from one star to five stars, where five stars means maximum growth. Even the

Professional Bull Buyers Guide

one star bulls are as growthy as any bull in America 20 years ago.

13 . Maternal: This is an estimate of maternal efficiency, NOT milk. It includes cow size, milk, fertility, and growth. The bulls are scored from one star to five stars. Five star bulls will produce some of the most profitable cows in the industry if you sell calves at weaning.

14. Feedlot: This looks at all of the post weaning traits including gain, conversion, carcass weight, and carcass merit. Scored from one star to five stars, where five stars would produce maximum overall value in your feeder calves.

15. Phenotype: A combination of eye appeal and overall kind. Scored from one star to five stars. Five star bulls are the best phenotypic bulls in the sale (in our opin-ion)! Two star bulls are less attractive visually than average.

16. Disposition: Our traditional score of 1 – 5 on dis-position. Score 5 bulls are bulls you can walk up to and touch. Score 3 is about average historically for Leachman bulls. However, we are making a concerted effort to improve disposition, so most bulls score 3 or higher. The bulls scored 2.5 or 2 are nervous and do not like to be in close quarters with people on foot – but they are great for big range operations.

17. Actual birth weight. This is not adjusted for age of the dam.

EPDs/ABCs

Breed Association EPDs (Expected Progeny Differences) are listed for all registered animals. Leachman ABCs (Across Breed Comparisons) are listed for all un-regis-tered animals. All ABCs are on an Angus base and can

be compared across breeds within this catalog. EPDs are appropriate association EPDs without any adjust-ments.

18. Birth weight EPD/ABC expressed on an Angus scale (or breed scale for Red Angus, Hereford, and Charolais).

19. Weaning weight EPD/ABC expressed on a breed scale. The Stabilizers are expressed on an Angus scale.

20. Yearling EPD/ABC expressed on a breed scale. The Stabilizers are expressed on an Angus scale.

21. Milk EPD/ABC expressed on a breed scale. The Stabi-lizers are expressed on an Angus scale. This is the best predictor of a bull’s daughter’s ability to milk. It mea-sures the difference in weaning weight that will be produced between one bull’s daughters and another bull’s daughters due solely to milk.

22. IMF is the ultrasound based EPD/ABC for marbling expressed on a breed scale. The Stabilizers are ex-pressed on an Angus scale.

23. REA is the ultrasound based EPD/ABC for ribeye area expressed on a breed scale. The Stabilizers are ex-pressed on an Angus scale.

24. MWT is the predicted mature weight of daughters that you will get if you use the bull on a 1250 pound cow. If your cows weigh 1350, add 100 to this predict-ed weight. If your cows weigh only 1150, subtract 100 from this predicted weight. This EPD is the best indi-cator of daughter size -- far better than frame score or yearling height.

25. F:G is the pedigree estimated feed to gain EPD that predicts the feedlot efficiency of the bulls offspring. A negative number means that the bull’s progeny will feed more efficiently. Example: -0.50 means that the bulls progeny will require ½ pound less feed per pound of gain.

26. Intake: is an estimate of the amount of feed that the bull’s progeny will consume over a 112 day feeding period. It is expressed in pounds. Animals with higher intake will consume more throughout their life. Animals with lower intake will consume less.

27. FS is an EPD, expressed as frame score, predicting the yearling frame score of a sire’s progeny, compared to that of other sires.

28. SC is an EPD, expressed in centimeters, predicting the yearling scrotal circumference of a sire’s progeny, compared to that of other sires.

29. $Ranch EPD: This Leachman profit index that predicts weaning profitability based on calving ease, weaning weight, maternal milk, cow cost, and FERTILITY. Based on producing 100 calves. This EPD assumes a slide on calf prices of $10 / cwt. See page 7.

30. $Feeder: This number is expressed in terms of the bull’s added value to the sale price of your feeder calves. It is expressed in dollars per head. Thus when comparing a +100 bull vs. a +50 bull, we expect the first bull to sire calves worth $50 per head more at weaning (regardless of their weight).

31. $Profit™ EPD: One, simple, proven number that gives each trait a weight according to its impact on profit. See page 7 for additional information.

32. FT: Indicates the bull was individually measured for feed intake. Bulls without this notation, were not individually measured. Unmeasured bulls have EPD’s based on their parental average.

Key to bull comments:

• Any reference to % rank is the percentile rank within that bull’s breed. Top 1% means the animal ranks better than 99% of the population on that trait.

• Reference to the number rank (i.e. #2 $Profit) is the bulls rank within his breed within the sale bulls for that trait. So, #4 F:G ST means the 4th best Feed:Gain Stabilizer bull in the sale.

• All bulls are evaluated for foot soundness. Bulls below a 3 score are deemed to have less than desirable hooves. 2.5 Feet = flatter heal and/or slightly longer toe. 2.0 Feet = flatter heal and much longer toe. 1.5 Feet = evidence of toes curling in on front or hind feet. All such bulls’ feet have been trimmed and sell with our complete guarantee.

• Other abbreviations used in the comments include:

• Dam 5@101 NR – indicates that the bull’s dam has five calves with an average weaning ratio of 101

• WR & NR = weaning or nursing ratio. How the calf ranked within herd on their adjusted wean-ing weight.

• YR = yearling ratio. How the calf ranked within herd on adjusted yearling weight.

• AWW = adjusted 205 day weaning weight. AYW = adjusted 365 day yearling weight.

• REA & IMF = either adjusted data or ratios for ultrasound ribeye area and inter-muscular fat (marbling).

• ADG = average daily gain on test. WDA = weight per day of age at a year.

• Stay = the Red Angus EPD for Stayability. This predicts the likelihood that a bull’s daughters stay in the herd. +14 means that 14% more of this bull’s daughters will be in the herd at age 6.
